Wow, there a member here on this site who lives/lived in Tonowanda
Hard to tell from the pics, but maybe something with the collar/shoulder that holds the die in. It just looks odd about 180 degrees separation.
A very tired, worn die.
Coins are, basically, just another mass machined metal part, just like paper clips, nails, screws, bobby pins etc, getting right down to the...
